These better not be a limited pair. 😑
Very seriously doubt it as much hype as it is getting and there being 4 sku's tells me they are banking on this model being a huge success. The capsule is a influencer gift. I have a BXTR street sign packaging with the BXTR and camera and other stuff I picked up from someone who had 5 of them. The companies send them out the product like that because influencers get asked by everyone to promote their items and get tons of free shıt and they don't even have to so the cooler the presentation to them the more likely they will take a minute to wear them for a picture or say something in their podcast about how cool they are. Watch eBay and you never know.... just depends on how many were sent out but they sometimes come up there with the special packaging capsules and stuff.

Joking aside.... I agree that this can be a great model for O. They have not allowed anything close to this with that base curve lens and style in years. Without the beak they are not half bad and I will pick them up but you bet it won't be on release day and it won't be for retail. Be smart and use google and go to secondary sites. Have the Honey app or I also use the Capital one extension and I run them both before checking out and often save huge! Some of the secondary sites will sell them for less than retail as well you just have to put some work into it. There really is no reason to pay retail on 99% of what comes out. Unless its a limited collaboration or something like the Mars release where there is 0 chance of finding it under retail unless you just get lucky.

I hope the best for this model and I hope they will do better colors in the future because not sure whats up with all these pasty dull light earth colors lately but its not my thing anyway....

Yes. This pair in particular needs to come in a neon purple with a 'disruptive' never seen before hot pink lens!!
 
I would have liked some simpler arms on these.
Did you not see the original concept or prototype sketch? By comparison these arms are simpler than what was originally floating around.

Seriously though, O really needs to introduce a rose-based ca. 50% VLT *HIGH* contrast lens, and with a pink or purple filter while they’re at it.

Most other top sports sunglass brands have something in that category, but not O - they just keep the gap huge between Prizm Trail, Trail Torch, Berry, Peach (35-37%) and Prizm Low Light (75%).

(And yes, sorry, TR45, I actually do like you a lot, but O has just so severely limited their application of all your qualities that, well… you know.)

(And no, Prizm Snow Rose, I have not forgotten about you either. In fact, I have been waiting for years now, hoping that the O would expand their usage of you beyond snow goggles and my beloved Windjacket 2.0’s, but alas.)
